An Ego Ablaze

A raging fire
Of pure emotion
Fuels every muscle
Giving power to the
Ego

How it yearns to be
Acknowledged
Not forgotten
But solidified
In the reality it
Finds itself in

Lurking around
Trying to figure it out
Letting others come close

Testing to see
If it will get hurt

A raging fire
Of raw emotion
Charges every fiber
That is contained in the
Ego

How it craves to be
Heard
Not ignored
But understood
In this semblance
We are all in

Wondering if
Ideas it has
Are worth sharing

Or if they should kept
To itself

A raging fire
Of pure emotion
Fills every nerve
To the brim for the
Ego

How it runs on
Adrenalin
Sustaining momentum
To reach the end
In hopes its the first
To win

Pondering if
The rat race
Unfolding
Is just a distraction
From what is happening
With the Ego as a whole
